ChangeTower watches pages and alerts you when their content changes, keeping dated snapshots and before-and-after diffs. The free plan covers 3 pages checked daily, hourly checks need Essential at $29, and a section-level watch is not on the cheapest plans. - **Value for money: B.** $10 a month on yearly billing for 25 pages ($12 monthly), at the top of the category's cheaper quarter. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan with 3 pages checked daily, which you'll outgrow quickly, plus a 5-day trial on paid plans. - **Features: C.** Scheduled checks, snapshots, diffs, keyword and section watching, AI filtering and alerts.

It costs $120 a year. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Capture tools hooked into the operating system. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Slack, Webhooks and MCP among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
